Search others for their virtues and thyself for thy vices. lio lives long, that lives well, and time misspent is not lived but lojt. Keep your cars open to nil that is worth hearing, and closed to all that is not. Pi cj udico and self sufficiency uatuinlly proceed from iiivxpur* iencc and ignorance. Character is higher than Rilcl led. A grunt soul will be strong to live ns well as strong to think. Thu Ignorant peasant without fault is greater than tho philoso pher with many.— Oliver Gold- smith. Some boys inherit go.nl fortunes, but no boy ever inherited a schol arship, a good character, or a use ful life. There is no trait more valuable, than a determination to persevere when the right thing is to be accomplished. Life doos not count by years. Some suffer a lifetime in ft day, so we grow old between the rising and setting of tho sun. It is impossible tliul an ill-no- lured man can have a public spirit; for how should he love ton thorn* and men who never loved one. Fortune turns faster than i mill-wheel, and those who were yederdny at tho top may find themselves at tho bottom to day. —Don Quixotic. Contcn’.mcnt is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand de sires makes a wiso and happy purchaso. & Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to per forin abroad, influences to exert, which are peculiarly Ids, and which no conscience hot bis own can teach. Lying is like trying to .hide in fog. If you move about you are in danger of dumping your bead against the troth; aa soon os the log blows op you are gone bdy* bow. It doesn't follow that you roust do a roatn thing to a man who hat done a mean thing to you. Tbe old proverb runa: “Bacauae the cur has bitten roe, shall I Jile the cur” Tho clearness and purity of ones mind is nevar better proved tbsn in discovering iu own faults at first view; as when a stream shows tha dirt at its bottom, it shows also tbo transptreney of the water.

Mrs, Jinca, A Word About Christmas. Its Arrival Unexpected Every Year- Somcthing About Presents* When what was destined to be a pleasure becomes a burden, It is time to stop and examine it care fully, and see if it is tbe thing itself which has grown to be such a weight, or whether It is simply an awkward manner of carrying it. Certainly there must be something wrong in any celebration of Christ mas which results iu serious fa* tigue of roiud and body. During the first three months of tho year, nothing is moro commonly giveu as a reason for ill health than an ovortlrain during tbe holidays. She got so worn out at Christ mas," or *‘Sho worked too bard in finishing her Christmas present*,'* or "The week before Cbistmas sho was tired out with shopping,” are excuses which appoar as surely aa January comes. Tho question must occur sometimes to every one, whether all this worry and wear of heart and hand sod brain are really worth whilo. Is (here not somo hotter way of celebrating this day of days than lor women to wear thomsolvcs out in making er buying prolty trifles for people who already have moro than they can find room for ? Suiting aside all effort of eyes and fingers, tho mental strain is intense. Merely to deviso presents for a doz.*n or more people, which must be op. proprinte and acceptable, and which they’ do not ulready possess, and which no one else is likely lo Idt upon, is enough to wear upon the strongest brain; and when one’s means arc not unliiuitod, and the question of economy mu»t come in, the mutter is Mill more com plicated. The agony of indecision, tho weiging of rival merits in this ned that, tho distress when the article which is finally decided upon does not 6ccm as fascinating ns ono had hoped, the endless round of shopping, tho packing to send lo distant friends, the frantic effort to finish nt the lust moment something which ought to have been done long ego, result in a relapse, when nil is over, into a complete weariness of mind and body which unfits ono for either giving or receiving pleasure.— Now, when all this is looked at soberly, does it pay? It is a remarkable fuel that, although Christum Ins been kept on the twenty-fifth day of December for more than a thousand yours, its arrival seems us unexpected as if it h«.i been appointed by tho Pres idunt. No one is ready for if, •Ithoug last year every ono resuiv od to be so, mid about the middle ol December there begins a rush and hurry which is really more wearing lhau a May moving. It seems to be a part of the fiurco activity of our time and country that oven our pleasures must be enjoyed at high presauo While it is almost impotsiblo, in matters of businoia, lo aot upon the kindly suggestion of intelligent critics that we should take things moro leisnnJy, sorely, hi matters of enjoyment, we might msko to effort lo bo less overworked. Can not the keeping of Christmas, for example, be made to consist in other things than gifts? Let tbs giving be for the children and those to whom our gifts sro real necessities. As a people, wo are negligent In the matter ot keeping birthdays. If these festivals mire made moro of iu tbe family, especially among the elder members, we should not find that we were luring the bless* ednest of giving and tbs happiness of receiving, even if we did omit protests at Christmas time. lo many large families a mutual uu- derstaadiog that the Cbristmaa gifts were all to be for theebiidreo would be an immense relief, al though, perhaps, no one would be quito wilting to acknowledge tb Sometimes a large circle of brothers and sisters can anito in a gift, iu that way making it possible to give something of more value, and st the same time to hmeo tbe dif ficult U*k of selection. Above all things, if you give presents, be mure anxious to give something which “supplies a want” than to send some pretty trifle which can only prove Id the end aa additional ear*. A little fore, thought and friendly putting o! yourself In another’s pises will make Ibis possible. In the great world of books something can be found to suit overy taste. , Flowers are always a graceful gift, and can never becomo burdensome by lost' ing after one has grown tired of them. There are numberless otb 1 er things which can be prod need without a wear and tear of mind and body which make the recipient feel as David did of the water from the well of Bethlehem, that what cost so much was too valuable to be accepted - Susan Anna Brown tn the Century for December. Baby Daad, 11 1 stand iu s darkonod room be fore a little oasket that holds the silent form of my firstborn. My arm la around the wife and the mother who weeps over the lost troasure, and cannot, till tears have their way, bo comforted. 1 had not thought that my child could dio—that my child could die. I know that other children had died, but 1 felt safe. Wo lay the little ono cloro by his grandfather at last; we strew Ills gravo with flowers, and then return to our sad denod home with hearts united in sorrow ns they had never been united in joy, and with sympa thies forever opened toward all who are culled to n kindred grief. I wonder where ho is to-day, in what mature angluhoud lie 6taods, how ho will look when I meet him, how ho will make himself known to me, who lm« been his teacher ! Uu was like mo. Will his grand father know him ? 1 never can coano thinking of him as cared for nnd led by tho hand to which rny own youthful fingers clung, and as hearing from tho fond lips of my own father the story of hisfalhcr’u eventful life. I feel how wonder ful has beon tho ministry of my children—how much moro I lave learned from them than they have over learned from mo—how, by holding my own strong lifo in sweet subordination of their help lessness, they huvo taught me pa* lieneo, self-sacrifice, truthfulness, faith, simplicity an i purity. *'All! this taking to one’s arms a little group of souls, fresh from tho lund of God, and living with them in loving companionship through ril their stainless years, is or ought lo be, liko living in heav 1 cn, for of such u tbe heavenly kingdom. To no one of theao I moio indebted than to tho boy who went away Dont mo before tho wold had went away from me bo< foro tho world had touched him with a stain. The key ilint shut him in the tomb «as tho only key that could unlock my heart, and let in among its sympathies the world of Borrowing men and wo men who mourn bee rose their little ones are doi.”—Dr. Holland• A Drunkard's Wife. Tho Supreme Court of low. has given practice! application in ■ recent declaion to the old proverb, "A* you Dialto your bed to you muit lie down in it," John York made a contract with Scan Mo. eicr by wliich tbo was to beoome Ida wife and be waa to make pe. cuniary proviaion tor her. They wore duly married. In leu than two montha the bride abandooed tier husband on aocount of bit drunkenness. Soon after John died, and tha widow sought lo enforco the term, of tho antecup* tial contract; hot tbe court dc cided against her. It appesrs that John wu a drunkard before tho marriage, and the court hold that tho wife wee cot justified in leaving him; that, in abort, ahu had uot lived up to her part of the agreement. Tbe widow urg cd in extenuation that he had promised before marriage that he would reform, but the court an swered: "Uis tailure to keep this promise did not justify her in de> ecrling him. Alt the world knowe that euch promises, undo by drunkard, are always broken. In n few words, as the knowingly marries a drunkard, she should he contuct to bo a drunkard’s wife.” The decision in this particular case seems to be a hardship, but tbo lesson contained in it tliould bo taken to heart by women who liava not yet elected to booorao the wives of drunkards. Food For Thought. Beware of the fury of a patient Coffee and Alcohol In Brazil, According lo tbo slalcmsn t of tbo vine director of tho Itio Janoi ro faculty of medicine, it appeals that in Braiil, where great quin, titios of oofito are uaed and whora all tho inhabilamle take it many timoe a day, alooholiam it com. plciely unknown; it ie further elat ed that tba immigranta arriving in that ooaatry, though beset with the passion for aloobol, coo- tract little by little the babita of tho Braiiliene, acquiring their fondnose for drioking coffee and their averalon for liquor.; and aa tha children of tbeao immigranta brought up with coffee from Iboir early yeara never contract tbe fatal habile knowo to their parents, it would seem the! the number of drunkard* in the country i* in inverse ratio to the amount of coffee consumed. ASoulbAmeri can correspondent of the Medical Tima, oeofirnik tbo abovo state, men to, asserting that tha number of ealee in tbo largo cities ol lira- ail—where mullimdea of persona from tba bigboat down to tbe lowtet dines go to to lake a onp of that detieioul be vet ago which noat bet Draailtana know bow to make properly—la enormous, while drlnktog ealoooa or bar* an vary few, nnd their patron* fewer at ill. lo lb.

Tea and Coffee at Night, Tlio use of les at night is another mixed question. If your nerves arc fatigued, tea will of'.cu make you sleep; but if you are over excited, it will keep you restless and awake. As a rule, most late workers aro in tho hahitof sipping tea. Maoy do not find tbit it injures their sleep, and 1 suppose tint most doctors would agreo that, if this is the case, to* fur the student is far belter than any alco hol in any abspe. These remarks also apply lo coQau. Black coffee in h"l countries acorns to bo tbe groat panacea for all tha wooe of life. It apparently suits somo Isle students tnd business msn better limn tea in umoa of pretanre, and it is corlainly superior lo any form of alcohol. A head clerk in ono ol tho largest office! in London told me that during a fortnight of oommercisl panic, when all the omployee wero kept working over- time, most of them took stimulants. My lriead said: "I foresaw what wst coming, and when the orieie •riivcd 1 out off all alcohol and •ubslHuted coffee. At the end of tho fortnight moat of my col league! wero knocked up, but woe ea fresh ui a bird.”—London Truth. No man can promise liimaeli even fifty years of life, but any man may, if ho ploaso, lire in tbo proportion of fifty year* in forty, Let him ruo early that he may baso the day before bint, and lot him mako the most of tha day by determining to expend It on two sorts of acquiiuUnco* only—those by whom something may be got, and those from whom something may he Ittrotd.—Colio*. Careful experiments hare prayed that onrn whiob is hilled will blow dowa mors readily than that which baa lavel culture. This can be accounted for by tbo fact that corn roots ran vary near the anr, faco, and when hills aro made, they are confined to tbo small •pace covered by the bill, while in level culture the roots ran from ooe row to tha other, thus enabling lb* corn to aland strong, a* nature intended, and In no way liable la be Mowo dowu except by winds of nonsoal violence. It is when our bnddiog hope, aro nipped beyond raoovery by eomo rough wind that wo are the moat disposed to picture to our selves what flowers they might have borne if they bad flonrisbed. If the Boparinr Balog of the uni verse would look down upon tho world to fisd tho most fntenelfog object, it would bo the unfinished, uninioimed character of ytnog mao, or of yonog women. There is a thread in oar thought* as there is a pulse la, our feelings be who cao hold the one know* bow to think, and h. wire can move the other knows how to feeh hint. Frugality provides an easy chair for old oge. Eojoy what you have; hope for what you lack. The greatest actor of eloquence is sincerity. Who bravely dares mual some, times risk a fall. Man mast beoome wise by his own experience. CbeeriulncM ie tho daughter of employment. Simplicity, of all things, ii the hardest to ho copied. Keep up the fire of resolution by frequent replenishing. It ie not necessary to be offen live in order to 1m decided. Imprudence oanuol ho laid to tbe charge of good-sense. Show respect to old sge. Youth does not always last. An obstinate man docs not hold opinions; they bold him. Tho love of God imposes on us no impossible conditions. Tho first great work ie tbit your self may to yourself be true. He who can suppress n moment’s anger may prevent a dey ol sor row. As the rolling ttono gathers no moss so tho roviog heart gathers no affections. Little minds are turned and sob dued by misfortune, but great minds rieo abovo it. Write dowu the advice of him who lovos you, though you liko it not at present. Wbcro no wood ie tho firogoelh out, so. w hero there is lio tale bearer, strife crnioth. Tbo light is most precious, which shines brightest when all others have gone uut. Filial ingratitude I is it not as this mouth should tear tins hand for lifting food for it. Habits are coon assumed; but whoa wo slrivo to atrip them off 'tis being flayed alive. Heligion is reproached with not being progressive; it makes amende by being imperishahlo. ’Tis a strango truth that only iu tbo agoniea of parting do we look into tbo depths of lore. Thero la fellowship among tho virtual by wkioh one great, gene- roue passion stimulates another. It ia worth a thousand pounds a year to have tho habit oi looking on the bright eido of thing*. Every msn is a hero and an ora cle to somebody, and to that person whatever he says has an eohaneed value. Take a truo vlow of life; ho proud that you have work in the world's busy path, aud do it well and honorably. Ail men if they work not aa if in tha great Taskmaster's oyee, will work wrong both for themselves and you. If you were to try to recall all tb* good deeds yoe bare ever done in your Ufa, would half on hour bo too long f The tra* grandeur of humanity is ia moral elevstiun sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of mas. Tha bora ia usually considered a harmless creature, or of that class of irrational bipods who hurt only themselves. It ia vain to gather virtue* with out humility, for the Spirit of God delightetb to dwell io tbe hearts of the humble. There is but one road to lead us to God—humility; all other ways could only lead astray, even were they fenced is with ail virtues. Til a rate that goes k great way in the government ot * seller man’s Ufa, not to pot anything to hazard that may lie scoured by in dustry, consideration or circum spection. Make every one weieome to your churoh, to your pew, to your prayormeeting. People liko to go where they can see by men’s ac tion* that they are cordially we!, oomed. Colic. The aymtoms of colic, one of tli* most fatal diseases toa bone, are readily detected. The hone invariably scrape* with hi. fora foot, kicks at Ui* stomach aud shifts about, taros around, smolla the floor, lioa down, rolls, remain* ing for a time on bis back, aud breathes heavily throughout At a recent meeting of the London Fanners’ Club, a relief sad turn euro was presented by a gentle man who has lieeo all his lifo among horses. When tha horse shows the symptom* of au attack of colic apply at once a horse cloth or woolon rug, wrung out of boil ing waior, tn the stomieh and to the aides, and cover with soother couple of clothe to retain the heat. Aa they cool, renew tbe ololha aa often us needful. A large brand poultice, as hot as can be borne, is equally effective and retains the beat longer.—Savannah AT*to*. Fannie B. Ward writes from Saltillo that at whetevor hour a person dies in Mexico, it is custo mary to appoint the funeral just 24 hoars later, aud that aa tbs morality is greatest all over the world at uiglit the most of the funeral ccremoDies in Mexico aro performed at night, no women being permitted to attend. The poor hire the cofiina io which their deed aro borne to the gray*. Tbe cotton crop of tba Sooth last year amounted to 7,000,000 bales—enough lo supply tbe d'e- maods of tho chief portions of tho civilized world. In addition there wero produced 2,500,000 tons of surplus cotton seed, which might have been transformed into 105,- 000,000 gallous of oil, 1,500,01)0 inns of oil cako, and 800,000 toils of papor. To wbet enormoas extent this crop may ultimately bo increased cun scarcely be fore seen. Colton is no longer king, but it remains, nevertheless, on* of the chief commercial pillar* of tho country. Debility in adult* is often caus ed by worma. The change from childhood to manhood is not suf ficient to rid tba system of thin awful plaguo. Sliriner’s Indian Verudfugo will cxpall them and raatore health and a bright oom- plexion. Wondrous is tha strength ot cheerfulness, altogether past cal culation its powers ol endureoce. Efforts, to bo permsneotly useful, must ho uniformly joyous—a spirit all sunshine, graceful from very glndoesa, beautiful baesun bright. IUligioua vacuity oao no mors bo maintained io tho aoui than material vsenity can bo maintained in tho world on wbioh we live. Extinguish tho light of Christ and the Bible, nod yen leavo darkness, bat not emptiness, in tbo mind.
